1 MDS and Care Planning for the Activity Professional Presented by: Robin L. Hillier, CPA, STNA, LNHA, RAC-MT (330) Overview of The Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) Process 2 1
2 The Minimum Data Set (MDS) Assessment tool mandated by OBRA 1987 that drives: Resident care Medicare reimbursement Medicaid reimbursement in many states Regulatory oversight and facility quality improvement activities through the Quality Measures (QMs) Consumer oversight through Quality Measures (QMs) Broad screening tool to identify potential problem areas that require further assessment before care planning 3 Accuracy of Assessments MDS must accurately reflect - the resident s status - as of the Assessment Reference Date (ARD) (42 CFR (g), F278) Note that the MDS is a functional assessment only 4 2
3 Accuracy of Assessments RAI User s Manual is the definitive resource for MDS coding instructions You should always use it when completing MDS items Pay attention to the clarifications, issues of note, and other pertinent information needed to understand how to code each item Ensure you have the most current version CMS updates the manual frequently CMS posts updates on its website Be alert to manual updates even if the manual is embedded in your MDS softeare 5 Accuracy of Assessments The RAI Process is intended to be an Interdisciplinary Process: The appropriate, qualified health professional should correctly document the resident s status Assessment must be conducted by staff that are qualified to assess relevant care areas and knowledgeable about the resident Assessments must be conducted with the appropriate participation of health professionals 6 3
4 Data Collection and Coding Decisions Collect information From all sources permitted by the instructions, see next slide For the time frame of the look-back period only Look-back is seven days unless rules state otherwise Anything that happened before or after look-back period does not go on the MDS Apply the item-specific rules from the RAI User s Manual to the data collected 7 Data Collection and Coding Decisions Potential Information Sources: Talk to the resident Talk to the family Talk to your staff Review the record Observe yourself 8 4
5 Care Area Assessments (CAAs) The MDS is a screening tool that provides clues about the resident s functional and health status. Specific MDS answer options are Care Area Triggers, which indicate that a particular area could be a problem for that resident There are 20 Care Areas which can be triggered A Care Area Assessment must be completed for each care area that is identified as a possible problem, or triggered 9 Care Area Assessments (CAAs) CAAs are required only with comprehensive assessments Admission assessment (A0310A = 01) Annual assessment (A0310A = 03) Significant Change in Status Assessment (A0310A = 04) Significant Correction to prior Comprehensive Assessment (A0310A = 05) CAAs are not required with: Quarterly assessments (A0310A = 02) Significant Correction to Prior Quarterly Assessment (A0310A = 06) Standalone SNF PPS reimbursement assessments (A0310B) 10 5
6 The Care Plan The care plan is the working action plan developed from the findings that result from working the triggered CAAs Person-centered, individualized, care plan designed to address the resident s specific problems, risk factors, needs, goals, preferences, and choices 11 Section F: Preferences for Customary Routine and Activites 6
7 Section F: Preferences for Customary Routine and Activities F0400: Interview for Daily Preferences F0500: Interview for Activity Preferences These are scripted interview questions to determine how important various activities are to the resident Residents should be interviewed if they are able to make themselves understood at lease some of the time (B0700 = 0,1,2 or 3) If resident interview cannot be completed, attempt to interview family member or significant other There is a staff assessment if neither resident or family member/significant other can be interviewed Conducting the Resident Interview 7
8 Conducting the Resident Interview Introduce yourself to the resident Be sure the resident can hear you Don t mumble or rush Ask if they own a hearing aid, other device Help get the device in place before the interview May need to offer headphones/hearing amplifier Ask if the resident would like an interpreter Find a quiet, private area where you are not likely to be interrupted or overheard Background noise, distractions should be avoided Privacy of personal information being asked RLH Consulting 15 Conducting the Resident Interview Sit where the resident can see you clearly and you can see his or her expression Have you face well lighted Minimize glare Ask the resident where you should sit so they can see you best Establish rapport and respect Can engage in general conversation to help If the resident asks a question or makes a request, try to address the question or request before moving on to next question RLH Consulting 16 8
9 Conducting the Resident Interview Explain the purpose of the questions Introduce the topic and explain you are going to ask a series of questions Explain that the questions are asked of every one to make sure that nothing is missed Highlight what you will ask End by explaining that their answers will help develop an appropriate care plan Each interview item contains suggested explanations and introductions see the MDS manual instructions in Chapter 3 RLH Consulting 17 Conducting the Resident Interview Say and show the item responses Prepare cue cards in large, clear print and show the resident while you verbally review the response options Residents can respond verbally, by pointing to the response on the cue card, or by writing it down Ask the questions exactly as the appear in the questionnaire Use non-judgmental approach Don t be afraid of the answers you are there to hear it Actively listen greater insight beyond direct answer RLH Consulting 18 9
10 Conducting the Resident Interview Resident preferences may be influenced by many factors in a resident s physical, psychological and environmental state, and can be challenging to truly discern Residents should be encouraged to articulate their desires and not be strictly limited by their physical limitations and environmental restrictions When a resident is unable to communicate information about his/her preferences, a family member, close friend or other representative should be used to complete the preference questions based on what the resident would prefer RLH Consulting 19 Make Every Effort to Complete Each Assessment Complete all resident interviews (only comatose residents are ones that definitely cannot complete the interviews) Every assessment must be completed as fully as possible with all available information at the time of assessment Interviews matter! CMS is receiving reports from survey agencies that facilities are not interviewing residents when the resident is capable; CMS has verified this during site visits. Providers will be cited when such practices are found. RLH Consulting 20 10
11 Conducting the Interview Step 1: Explain the reason for the interview. Suggested language: I d like to ask you a few questions about your daily routines. The reason I m asking you these questions is that the staff here would like to know what s important to you. This helps us plan your care around your preferences so that you can have a comfortable stay with us. Even if you re only going to be here for a few days, we want to make your stay as personal as possible. Conducting the Interview Step 2: Explain the interview response choices. While explaining, also show the resident a clearly written list of the response options, for example a cue card. Suggested language: I am going to ask you how important various activities and routines are to you while you are in this home. I will ask you to answer using the choices you see on this card [read the answers while pointing to cue card]: Very Important, Somewhat important, Not very important, Not important at all, or Important, but can t do or no choice. 11
12 Conducting the Interview Step 3: Explain the Important, but can t do or no choice response option. Suggested language: Let me explain the Important, but can t do or no choice answer. You can select this answer if something would be important to you, but because of your health or because of what s available in this nursing home, you might not be able to do it. So, if I ask you about something that is important to you, but you don t think you re able to do it now, answer Important, but can t do or no choice. If you choose this option, it will help us to think about ways we might be able to help you do those things. Response options Very important Somewhat important Not very important Not important at all Important, but can t do or no choice 12
13 Interview for Activity Preferences While you are in this facility, how important is it to you to: Have books, magazines and newspapers to read? Listen to music you like? Be around animals such as pets? Keep up with the news? Do things with groups of people? Do your favorite activities? Go outside to get fresh air when the weather is good? Participate in religious services or practices? When you develop the care plan, focus on the areas that are most important to the resident Daily and Activity Preferences Primary Respondent 1. Resident 2. Family or significant other 3. Interview could not be completed by resident or family/significant other ( No Response to 3 or more items) 13
14 Staff Assessment of Daily and Activity Preferences Completed if resident unable to complete interview and nor family/significant other is available or able to complete Requires staff to observe resident during these activities to identify which the resident seems to enjoy Activities Care Area Assessment 14
15 Activities Care Area Assessment Residents who were assessed in any of the interview items as not very important, not important at all, or important but can t do or no choice, will trigger the activity care area Other MDS item responses are also relevant to this care area In order to properly complete the care area, you will also need to talk to the resident and family and make some of your own observations 15
